a mouse in the house!

There's a new mouse in the house and she's settled herself in the Spring Basket - here she is posing alone.

This book was a good an excellent read!! I'd spent so much time in the sewing room this winter that I decided to surface to the sunshine-filled living room and read this book for a few afternoons.

And I finally have a finish to share ..... It took me awhile to come up with a finish with which I was satisfied - this poor Nigel has been 'through the mill' whilst I fiddled with ideas. I neglected to take a photo of the backing which features a squirrel - he'll never be alone.

In our neck of the woods March is usually fickle and not to be trusted. The month came in like a lion - according to the weather guys (does extreme cold count as lion like?) - so we can hope it will go out like a lamb. This week saw a warm up but with more snow ... it's encouraging. Unfortunately, the long range forecast is for spring to show up about mid April - Mother Nature is mean this year.

Hi Kate! How lovely the little mouse and the squirrel! I love read at least an half a hour before raise up :) I saw on TV amazing news about weather in Canada, so many snow...Hope you have a fabulous weekend.Hugs from Portugal,Ana Love Craftwww.lovecraft2012.blogspot.com
